The newest batch of Victoria's Secret Angels stopped by Good Morning America to discuss eating pizza before shoots and the latest collection of Vicky's underthings today. And, all 10 girls (Sara Sampaio, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Taylor Hill, Monika "Jac" Jagaciak, Kate Grigorieva, Lais Ribeiro, Stella Maxwell, Romee Strijd, and Martha Hunt) wore their morning smoky eyes, naturally.

Pay attention to where the "smoke" is placed—most of the girls have their eye makeup on the outer corners of their eyes rather than all the way around them. You can also tell that instead of black and dark gray, a lot of them are wearing softer hues like taupe (see Martha Hunt in the last picture) and bronze. Oh, and none of them were too smudgy—the goal was to smolder but also not look like they haven't read more

We're not trying to start something, but Jennifer Lawrence could have potentially stolen her hair from a Victoria's Secret model. It at least has the layers, texture, and movement required to join the company. Take a look at her hair last night when she stepped out to dinner at Nobu in New York City (pictured with her bodyguard): And even when she was goofing around, it was bedroom-ready: Her hair has had quite the transformation from the shorter bob cut she had after dyeing it from light to dark and back and for The Hunger Games and has now reached its longest, blondest phase we've seen from her in months. And it is really quite Angel-like from the soft highlights to the not-so-perfect beachy waves. It's downright Doutzen Kroes-esque, and she's working it. And from the looks of things, she's having fun with it too. read more

Before parting ways with Victoria's Secret recently, former Angel Doutzen Kroes made many a sexy cameo in the brand's swim catalog, writhing around in the sand with messed-to-perfection wavy hair. But how does her model mane look when she goes to the beach for real? We now have the answer, thanks to photos of her frolicking on Miami Beach this week (for recreational purposes, not a shoot). While she played paddle ball in the surf, Doutzen's waves were looking almost catalog-worthy but definitely more natural. These appear to be real-life beachy waves created with the assistance of salty air and humidity, rather than texturizing cream and a curling iron. Then Doutzen's hair got wet and she pulled it half-back. Dare I say this is the hair look that any ordinary girl at the beach would have? Look, actual tangles! I consider these evidence that she is not fully superhuman. But wait—then Doutzen pulled a savvy model move and twisted her damp hair into this chic beach bun. This shot could have come out of the swim catalog. Verdict: Doutzen Kroes' actual beach hair is nearly as spectacular as her catalog beach hair, with occasional reassuring moments of vulnerability to the read more

Lucky for us, Victoria's "Secret" seems to be that she hires women who are incredibly gorgeous and hot to show us all how to find our inner sex kitten. Here's what the VS models taught us in the beauty department this year. Lesson 1) Even already-sexy women go for a smoky eye when they want to look sultry. It's just a classic. Don't question it. Lesson 2) Looking good in photos has something to do with your thumbs. Who knew? Lesson 3) Sometimes it takes a "combo platter" to get your body bronzer right. Here's the cocktail one of their makeup artists uses. Lesson 4) It's never too late to take care of your skin—even the night before a big event like the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Find out how three of the ladies prepped this year. Lesson 5) There's an art to the sexy hair flip. Their job isn't as easy as it looks, people. read more

If there's one thing a Victoria's Secret model knows, it's how to achieve maximum prettiness. So when I had the chance to run around their pre-show prep and chat with the Angels about absolutely anything, I asked a few of them to share the best backstage beauty tip they've picked up over the years. Joan Smalls: "I don’t always use a specific product for what I’m actually supposed to use it for. For instance, a red lip liner. I might use it as an eyeliner because I might not have that color or something about the consistency feels better. Or a cream blush: I might put it on my lips if I want a just-bitten look. Also, I always curl my lashes twice. First mid-base, and then I get really, really close. I feel like that opens up your face and you look bright and awake and you feel better." Doutzen Kroes: "Contouring. To do the right contouring is like an art. And I think it’s really important." Grace Mahary: "I like to massage my moisturizer into my skin a little bit because it really helps wake up your skin. I tend to stick to Embryolisse, and when I do read more

Is there a certain hair or makeup quirk you always love to spot on celebrities? I'm always happy to see one with a braid that's as skimpy as my own. My hair is so fine—I have lots of it, but the individual strands are thin—that my braids always come out super skinny. Not at all the way they usually look in magazine how-tos. I have to artfully loosen the braid section by section to make it look a little thicker, and the elastic at the end winds around seemingly 100 times! Well, I've found my latest celebrity partner in shrimpy-braid-dom, and shockingly, it's one of the bombshell-haired Victoria's Secret models, Lily Aldridge. Off the runway, her hair is much more relatable to us regular girls. What a lovely example of how even a thinner braid can look so perfectly chic! Those lashes on the other hand? Not so skimpy. One of my previous favorite skinny braid sightings was on Taylor Swift, back when she had long hair. Oh, and oddly enough, Beth just posted a great braid-styling trick for those of us with fine hair! Go check it out. What beauty quirk do you love to spot on celebs—something that read more

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show preparations continue, and along with workouts and sleep, there's another vitally important thing these ladies are all worried about right now. And, no, it's not hair removal, although I'm sure that's up there. It's skin care. Here are a few of the secrets the ladies have spilled behind the scenes. Doutzen Kroes has been perfecting her glow with face masks: Time for a beauty mask #vsfashionshow preparations Ein von Doutzen Kroes (@doutzen) gepostetes Foto am Nov 11, 2014 at 5:00 PST Lindsay Ellingson gave us a peek into her in-flight routine, which includes I Pekar moisturizer and eye cream, an Earth Tu Face Skin Stick, and Bioderma Crealine Cleanser: #Inflight essentials to keep your skin looking #fresh in the morning!

The Victoria's Secret fashion show takes place in London on Tuesday and with it brings 40 Angels and editors across the pond from New York City. I got to interview model Karlie Kloss on the private flight, and we talked about how she's feeling about this year's show, backstage beauty tips and tricks she's learned over the years, and the piece of makeup she'd never leave home without. Glamour: Tell me how you're feeling about this season's show. Karlie Kloss: I'm beyond excited at this point. I feel like we've been looking forward to this for all year round, really. The 12 months since the last show kind of flew by, and it's surreal that it's happening! The fact that we're actually on the plane, on the way to the show, and it's happening is—it's moving too fast! I'm not sure I'm ready for it, but it's amazing. Glamour: You were just getting your makeup done. Are there any tips that you've learned from working with so many artists over the years? KK: Oh, gosh. Over the last eight years—I should be better at doing it for myself at this point—but one thing I've gotten really good about is learning read more

We already know celebrities love to post no-makeup/bedhead photos on social media, just to prove how pretty they really are. The latest example: Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo (also known for being Adam Levine's wife) couldn't sleep last night, and she decided to share just how gorgeous she looks even while experiencing insomnia. Can NOT sleeeeeeeep 💿💿💿💿 #WHY! 😩😿😟😕Une photo publiée par Behati Prinsloo (@behatiprinsloo) le Nov. 11, 2014 at 11:15 PST That's just what you look like when you're up in the middle of the night unable to sleep. Right? Totally. Me too. This photo could practically be of me. Sigh. Oh, those Victoria's Secret models. Your thoughts on celebrities' no-makeup Instagrams? Over them? Love them? Mad at them? Tell us below. read more

There is a very important, crucial-to-your-life topic I'd like to discuss today: hair flips and how to do them all sexy, Victoria's-Secret-style. Luckily Alessandra Ambrosio decided to show us how it's done at store opening of of German luggage store Rimowa in New York City last night. Behold: Couple things to note here: 1) She concentrates on flipping her hair around her shoulder instead of up or very far out from her body. And 2) She leans her upper body into the flip to help her hair fall softly. Now your day may continue with proper hair flippage. And speaking of Ambrosio's tips, have you tried her thumb-hook stance? read more

When you're a Victoria's Secret model, you can make magic happen—this is my theory. That's why you see these ladies use their powers to create sexiness in ways other people do not even think of. For example, check out how Lindsay Ellingson did French braids last night: Two loose ones stacked on the side (created by Frankie Foye): Loading Tonight's look for the #VogueItalia video exhibition! Hair by @frankiefoye, #makeup by Me! #fishtailbraid #wanderbeauty View on Instagram@-webkit-keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } Loading Last night at the @vogueitalia video exhibition wearing one of my FAV dresses by #SophieTheallet #spring15 😘 hair by @frankiefoye View on Instagram@-webkit-keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } What makes them sexy to me is that they're so delicate and sweet, you almost believe she could fall asleep in them, forgetting they're even there. They have that effortless, girl-next-door sultriness that's so hard to truly perfect. The lesson: Think "loose" and "effortless" when you're going for a cornrow look and you'll get something like this. read more

As we saw last week with Miranda Kerr's 5 Lessons, no one schools people in sexiness like a Victoria's Secret model. Here are five things we learned from the Angels this year about looking gorgeous. Lesson 1) Shimmer and gloss are the cornerstones of any flirty makeup look. Lesson 2) For glowing skin, you've got to look for two things: steam and sweat. Lesson 3) When you're making waves with a curling iron, the bend-over-and-shake-your head move is the trick to breaking them up in that oh-so-sultry way. Lesson 4) There's a reason gold eyeliner is a makeup artist's go-to for making eyes glow. And lesson 5) If you spray fragrance on your hair, people will notice how good you smell when they go in for a hug. Want more of Victoria's secrets? Here are more lessons we've learned from them throughout the years. It might be the best present you'll get this year. read more

When you see stunning model after stunning model at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, it's easy to forget that these women aren't just built in a smoky-eye-and-wavy-hair factory. A lot of work goes into their sexy signature looks—but what kind of work, exactly? I went backstage before the show to investigate some little tidbits that might surprise you (like, for example, carbs). Kasia Struss does her thing on the runway. Myth no. 1: Models must have strict skin care regimens. When I asked Kasia Struss if she had any rituals to help keep her skin smooth and healthy, she replied, "No, not really, but I’m trying to go to the sauna as much as I can." That said, she did mention that "we all go out to get oxygen facials two days before the show, so that helped." Barbara Fialho played hooky on the model class field trip. "I don’t usually have facials. I like to [prep my skin] in the most organic way, so I exfoliate, I go to the steam room, I clean my skin, I moisturize. I do it at home." Barbara Fialho in her first-ever pair of wings! Myth no. 2: Models all have amazing wavy read more

The 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show doesn't air until December 10, but chances are you're going to be hearing about it a lot today, as it tapes in New York City this afternoon. But you don't have to wait that long to get all Victoria's Secret-ed up yourself—we've learned enough from the Angels and models like Miranda Kerr, Erin Heatherton, Adriana Lima, and Lily Aldridge through the years to mimic their sexiness anytime. Here are six lessons they've taught us. 1) Eyeglasses can be sexy. For real. 2) When you want tousled waves, Lily Aldridge's easy trick will get them in a flash. 3) Colorful smoky eye makeup can be just as sexy as a dark, sultry one when done well. 4) Shimmery beige eyeshadow = the key to doe eyes. 5) Highlighter on the cheekbones is a must-try makeup move. No doubt. 6) When you really really really want to look sexy, pumping up the (hair) volume is an easy shortcut. Well, that and being Miranda Kerr. Which of these moves do you use? read more

Even if you're not as genetically blessed as Victoria's Secret Angel Lily Aldridge (we can't all be supermodels, right?), you can still steal her fall makeup look. Makeup artist Polly Osmond shows us how: What's your take on matte? I like Lily's tip about making sure that if you're going to use matte in one place to make sure that you have a little shimmer somewhere else. read more

Sure, supermodels are genetically gifted lucky ducks who get paid to take care of their bodies and eat right. But even they have secrets they rely on when they need an extra boost of confidence to look great in a bikini or lingerie--tips even we nonmodels can use when it's time to hit the beach. Read on to find out some top models' clever confidence tricks (and, no, Photoshop isn't one of them). read more

How many of you are curious to see more of Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo, now that she is otherwise known as Adam Levine's fiancee? I thought it would be fun to round up a few photos of her modeling cute hairstyle ideas over the past year—that way, we can check out her gorgeousness and get weekend hair inspiration at the same time! Talk about multitasking. (We are all just so productive at work today!) 1. A loosely gathered, messy side braid with tons of wisps falling out; wrapping some hair around the elastic like this adds just the right amount of "finish." 2. The all-swept-to-one-side look. This is always so much more interesting than just wearing your hair loose; secure it back with pins or a big clip on that one side. 3. A fetching topknot; to get Behati's look, pin back the top section of your crown first, almost like you're doing a half-up hairstyle, and leave some ends loose when you wrap the bun. (P.S. This shot was taken during a catalog photo shoot, and look, you can see where the stylist pinned her jeans to fit her perfectly!) Would you wear any of these hairstyle looks, read more

We've talked about how to get Victoria's Secret model hair, Victoria's Secret model eyes, and Victoria's Secret model lips. So when we found out Victoria's Secret was launching a new fragrance, Bombshell Forever (online now and in stores May 8), we couldn't resist getting VS model Lily Aldridge's perfume tips. Here's what the California native had to say: Spray fragrance in your hair. “When people hug you, you smell great.” Switch to lighter scents. “I think a body mist is best for summer—it’s not as strong as an actual perfume. I spray it and walk into the fragrance.” Try before you buy (and get a second opinion). “Some people spray perfume on the little pieces of paper, but I think you need to put one fragrance on one wrist and one on the other and smell—it changes once it hits your body, which is crazy! I’ll spray it on myself and go home and see if my husband [Kings of Leon front man Caleb Followill] says I smell good.” Lily also shared a few of her secrets for having a sexy summer. Here are a some of our faves: 1. Get bikini-ready. “I do Ballet Beautiful; it’s Pilates-based, but read more

I love it when Victoria's Secret does an outdoor shoot for its catalogue—we get a preview of how the brand will be defining "sexy" in the coming weeks and months. Take yesterday, for instance. Victoria's Secret was shooting model Martha Hunt in a long flowy skirt, a little T-shirt, and a cute little pulled-up hairstyle that looks a bit like the everyday one I wear. Well, except a bit hotter. Of course. Her hair is either in a ponytail or bun (my gut says bun), with the front part pulled straight back off her face and pinned out of her eyes. The two keys that make this Victoria's Secret-friendly? 1) The bit of height at her roots and 2) the not-so-perfect-ness of it all—messy is important when you want to seem approachable. It's a cute version of an oldie-but-goodie hairstyle we all know and love, and it makes me feel a little better about the bun I've been tossing my hair up into lately. How 'bout you?
